Texas universities are already overcrowded, and having nonresidents pay resident rates will only hurt education in the long run. Ultimately there would be more students than resources, which would reduce the value of education as a whole. Not only does it harm the education system, but it is also unfair to international students. These students spend four to eight years studying in Texas schools, but are expected to pay nearly twice as much as everyone else. In many cases, international kids graduate from high school and go on to college and are still required to pay outrageous international student fees even if they have lived in the state for many years. On the other hand, students who are here illegally and graduate and go to college pay the same as citizens of the country only because they have no legal immigration status. The governor's actions do not discriminate against any group or harm the state in any way. If anything his actions should improve education by providing more funding to universities and also make non-residents seem more equal by not giving any advantage to illegal immigrants who wish to attend college
